BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In general, conventional alarm lamp products have the following features. 1. High lighting efficiency and energy saving: For example, an extremely high brightness solid-state maintenance-free LED light source may be selected as the light source to achieve high lighting efficiency, long service life, and good power saving and environmental protection effects. 2. Excellent core circuit design: Two operating modes including a sound mode and a light and sound mode can be switched freely, and the sound intensity of the alarm is up to 115 decibels, and thus the penetration ability is powerful. 3. Rechargeable battery: For example, high-energy non-memory battery packs can be used to achieve stable charging/discharging performance, high capacity, low self-discharge rate, and good power saving and environmental protection effects. 4. High safety and reliability: Advanced optical software and optimized structural sealing design may be used, wherein the casing is made of imported engineering plastics capable of resisting strong collisions and impacts, so as to ensure a long-term reliable operation of the lamp even in a harsh environment. 5. Other features: The alarm lamp has the features of easy to use, small size, light weight, and easy to carry. In addition, the lamp can be put on a tabletop, hand-carried, magnetically attached, or mounted in different ways.

However, the conventional alarm lamps only have the function limited to warning by flashing light without any other assisting tools, and thus wasting the existing hardware resources of the conventional alarm lamp and failing to provide more assistance to police officers in police cars.
